AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Element Solutions (ESI)

Element Solutions refinances $1.04 billion term loans at 1.75% spread, maturing 2030

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Element Solutions and MacDermid entered Amendment No. 9 to their credit agreement on October 15, 2024, refinancing part of existing tranche B-2 term loans into new tranche B-3 loans of $1,041,375,000 and cutting the interest rate by 25 basis points. The company also paid down $100 million of existing term loans, and the new loans mature on December 18, 2030, the same date as the loans they replace.

Key points

  • New tranche B-3 term loans total $1,041,375,000, with the $100 million paydown reducing borrowings to that amount.
  • Initial interest rate is Term SOFR plus 1.75% per annum, a reduction of 25 basis points.
  • Existing swap agreements continue on the new loans, effectively fixing the rate through January 2025; the net fixed rate was approximately 3.2% at June 30, 2024.
